Police believe the leaping insects were deposited shortly
after the downtown courthouse opened for business around 8:30 a.m.

Attempts by Yellowknifer to contact Bogan about his raid
were unsuccessful. According to information supplied by David Prichard, Bogan's
act was in league with a Canada wide Fathers 4 Justice protest.

Police investigators identified a suspect, but had not
interviewed the person as of Friday afternoon said Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Sgt. Mike Bradford.

Investigators were spotted on the second floor of the
courthouse outside of the Judge's chambers, taking pictures of the scene. The
inch-long blackish brown crickets - which can jump 20 to 30 times their own body
length and have ears on their knees - had been cleaned up by 9:30 a.m. Crickets
are not considered dangerous but can make an annoying piecing "chirp".

The location of the crickets led to speculation that they
may have been dropped by someone who was unhappy with a judicial decision,
police say.

Troubling incident

This is troubling." Justice Brenda Bell said Friday
afternoon. "Clearly this was someone who was not happy with the judiciary."

Bell said department officers would discuss the incident
with police and decide if security at the courthouse which occupies three floors
of a downtown office building needs to be upgraded.

"We take the security of our judges seriously," bell said.

The department cited concerns about security in their
proposal to construct a new, 41 million courthouse near the legislative
assembly.

Police did not say how they identified the suspect. There
are cameras throughout the courthouse and signs warning that the building is
monitored by cameras.
